2.) What surprised you?

     The thing that surprised me the most was how quickly it causes damage to Morgan’s body. In just thirty days, Morgan has eaten as much McDonald’s as most nutritionists say you’re supposed to eat in eight years. This statistic really painted a vivid picture for me and led me to understand just how unhealthy it is for Morgan to eat this much McDonald’s in such a short amount of time. He has a good idea of what he’s getting himself into but I think he is just as shocked with the results as many viewers, including myself, are. I had an idea he would gain some weight from this experience, but twenty-five pounds is quite a lot of weight. Morgan also mentions that during this thirty day McDonald’s binge, he takes in thirty pounds of sugar and twelve pounds of fat, making it clear that his health has dropped in numbers. Hearing this made me sick to my stomach because I honestly have never considered just how much sugar is really in these food items. I almost want to give up McDonald’s for good from here on out because it honestly doesn’t do the body any good, it just tastes good which is what makes us crave it. I’m also surprised that Morgan was able to stay strong and finish out his experiment without quitting after he realized how sick and unhealthy he was becoming. With a lot of hard work and determination, Morgan was able to create a very popular and successful documentary; hats off to him.

4.) What would you like to know more about?

I would like to know more about how the doctors and nutritionists felt about Morgan doing this. They know it was to show the dangers of eating fast food but I wonder if they’re predictions of the outcomes were the same as the ones that actually occurred. I would also like to know if there have been any long-term health effects following Morgan’s experience of eating nothing but McDonald’s for a month straight. He suffers from severe liver damage at the end of the film and his cholesterol sky rockets. My question is, just how long did it take for his health to get somewhat back to normal. I can imagine a lot of dieting and exercising was involved as well. The last thing I would like to know more about is how all McDonald’s lovers across the world feel after seeing this documentary. I wonder if they feel nauseous just like I do or if they think the whole thing is silly because they’re afraid to confront their addiction with these food products. There are people out there who may not even realize just how often they eat at McDonald’s, they just turn to the franchise because it’s convenient and saves them the time of having to cook something themselves. I really enjoyed viewing this documentary and I believe that Morgan’s message was beyond powerful. I wish more and more people would realize just how harmful a lot of McDonald’s products can be if they eat here quite often
